Have a Nice Life

God is great and I am grateful

I can never be so hateful

I got some cute kids and a woman who is faithful

Food up on my table, my bank account is stable

Royalty check, Strange Music is the label

Music on point, so now your boy is able

To be broadcast on your satellite and cable

Radio friendly, the phrase used to offend me

But now I'm getting spins 'cuz I knew I had it in me

Industry on envy, my foes wanna friend me

Money saying spend me, the homie saying give me

And I would still be rapping if I never made a penny

Believe in what I say and what I say I make it real

If I could do it all over I would still take the deal

For that type of opportunity a lot of kids would kill

But I would never murder, I would much rather yield

I don't wanna rule the realm

I just wanna ride the storm and let God take the helm

Tell my sons to be better than their old man was

And pray to get to do the things an old man does

I dont wanna hide my gray, I dont wanna dye my hair

'Cuz a lot of my homies died before they got there

I carry on the legacy, my only goal to set us free

And drop another classic after 30 years of pregnancy

Classic is creation, all creation is a classic

Especially when the track is tuned it to the master

The master being love and love being light

And everyone's got opinions, we all love being right

Hell we love what we learn, making wrong turns in life

I earn what I earn, I ain't concerned with the hype

Fight with a open heart, love with a open mind

You gotta trust that you know when to start and where to draw the line

And when it's showtime make peace with it

Never worry bout the perfect life let the priest live it

Give it time let it work itself out

Meditate on the better things, never dwell in self-doubt

Sitting here waiting on you

Because if love brought us up, so what's hatin' gonna do?

So you should hate a few and try to love many more

And always let karma settle any score

Give me war, I give you peace

We give the most those who need the least

You didn't speak up when they held me down

So you should keep your mouth shut while I hold the crown

And if you helped me down when I was downtrodden

You'll always be around, you'll never be forgotten

I put fame last and I made God first

'Cuz that's how my brother said relationships should work

Working overtime 'cuz I'm hoping overtime

That my work will respected and the world will know that I'm

The California kid that went and did the impossible

The coast crowned me king 'cuz I conquered every obstacle
